This Company Can Turn Your Handwritten Recipes Into Keepsake Tea Towels

This is a special way to save family recipes!

If you want to create a special keepsake out of the recipes that have been passed down in your family, generation after generation, one company is making it pretty easy. Spoonflower allows users to upload designs and get them printed onto fabric, wallpaper and more.

So, for instance, turning old recipe cards into fabric that can be used to create a tea towel only requires a few easy steps. Simply scan a recipe card, and upload it on the Spoonflower website.

“One fat quarter of linen-cotton canvas printed with an old, hand-written family recipe makes the perfect gift that’s not only sentimental and quick to sew, but quite handy around the kitchen as well,” the company wrote in the Instagram caption.

It’s a great way to ensure your gift is one-of-a-kind. Plus, the next time you make grandma’s cookies, you’ll have the recipe on hand without rummaging through the ol’ recipe box!

But if you opt to go for a DIY route that doesn’t involve any sewing, you can also use an ink jet printer, fabric transfer sheets and an iron to achieve a similar effect.

This video from the Hallmark YouTube channel demonstrates how you can take a plain tea towel and add a special recipe to it, right at home:

Creating these tea towels yourself makes for a great gift option for your mom or grandma — especially when pressed for time. However, if you’d rather let Spoonflower do the work, keep in mind it can take anywhere from eight to 13 days for them to print and ship your custom order, unless you choose a rush option.
